Gratitudes 42 A Few Random Blessings

A few random blessings.....

Gorgeous and cool late-Summer mornings.

Happy squeaks coming from Francoise's much loved toy hedgehog.

Domestic duties I'm seeing as Joy!- even some extra fluffing

of our nest. 

--For  a sweet sister in Christ who always inspires me like crazy in the
art of creative home sweet home making.
 

For freshly mown paths around the pastures  and to be

walking ...once again. It feels so good- even the burn in my legs and huffin and puffin up
the hills.

for Aloha Love!

For seeing God move in the 1 word I'm picking a day.   My first word journaled was 

forgiveness.  -Later on in the  day, I  began listening  to my Midday connection  podcast.

They had a guest speaker on the Millrose club  who brought a topic to the table: His topic: (are you sittin down?)  ... Yep: "forgiveness!"  Just hearing that word.... well; I think I  gave a little jump, hoop n hollar.  After  listening awhile  ... I wondered ...Did I have people in my life who I still may

harbor  unforgive-ness with?  First I asked God to forgive me .... and then...

those names that had popped into my mind... -I spoke and prayed forgiveness to them.  

Lord I forgive __________  for ______.

( forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.)

-Forgiveness... sweet forgiveness.

This morning my 1  word was "build."
Of all things,  I clicked over to Midday's facebook page awhile ago and guess what their  status said:
"So let's strive for the things that bring peace and the things that build each other up." Romans 14:19
"build."  
-yeah I'm still smiling!!!

 --that business is going good and 

for a rather interesting encounter with a customer who was an older gentleman .  He was dropping off a truck and came inside to tell  me what all was wrong with it.

Then; he kinda lingered there in the office?  We just started shooting the breeze awhile  ... At some point in our  conversation I  said something

about God.  Just a quick comment but  -I got the feeling he isn't  a Christian.   Still; we kept talking.   Next thing I knew 

he took his hand off the doorknob ...pulled up a chair and plopped down.  I think he stayed another 30 minutes or so.. like we were old  friends.    

By the time he left my lunch hour was half over.  ...Sitting here now trying to write about it.. and 

make some kind of sense about it... I can't really?  But it was

...  a joy.  

For finding scripture stamped on a dollar bill at Sonic tonight!

 I didn't  have a bible with me and couldn't wait to find out what Acts 2:38 said so  I texted the photo to a friend and she wrote out the 

scripture for me.  I wonder how many hearts that 1 dollar bill has touched? 

It did

 "mine." 

Gifts.

I could go on ... and share so many more but it's getting late.  

--I can't sign off though without adding my family and friends.  

 

Thank you Lord for all these things....

thank you with  my every thing.
